In addition to these, Jamaica also hosts a large amount of Wintering North American Birds, 24 species of North American Wood Warblers for example.

Jamaica is the 3rd largest of all the Caribbean Islands, yet, it is still reasonably small by UK standards, from East to West….146 miles and from North to South at its widest point is 51 miles.

Located on the Eastern side of the Island, this is lush green mountainous country with many habitats and offering opportunity to see all the endemics at an easy going pace with leisurely birding. You can bird watch locally and travel to other areas, no more than 2 hours drive away to catch up with specific species which are more localised.

We have excellent local bird guides who are registered with the Jamaica Tourism Product Development Company an arm of the Jamaican Tourist Board, they can accompany you, making birding a little bit easier and helping you to locate the more restricted species.
